Recent Latium (Lazio) reviews
"My family of four (two adults and two grown kids) spent a wonderful week in Rome with Marta's apartment in Trastevere as our base of operations. Marta arranged for our pickup at the airport and was at the apartment to greet us when we arrived. She oriented us to the neighborhood and provided expert tips on where to eat, shop, etc. The apartment is beautifully designed, combining new finishes with antique authenticity, and spotless. It e is perfectly located: Trastevere is a happening part of town with many restaurants and bars. It attracts crowds every night and can be quite boisterous but Marta's place is around a corner in a charming, quiet little alleyway. We were never bothered by noise from the crowds. Most of the major historical sites are walkable from Trastevere, though there is a convenient taxi stand just a couple of blocks from the apartment. We will return here whenever we come to Rome and recommend Marta's place highly for a party of four or fewer."Guest: David O. Date of Stay: April 2015 Review Submitted: April 24, 2015View listing

Sure, he's the famous watermelon smasher. Yes, he literally INVENTED the television stand-up comedy special. Absolutely, 14 Showtime specials is a big deal. And certainly 3,500 live shows to capacity crowds is worth mentioning.
But how about that he is the reason they invented Comedy Central? Or that before him no one ever had that level of interaction with a live audience? Or that he was the #1 comedian (in ticket sales and ratings) for almost 15 years?
Gallagher has led an extroardinary life, with an even more spectacular career. His fanbase is one of the most loyal there is, and he rewards them every chance he gets. Now on his farewell tour, he will do it one last time.
Gallagher is touring the country on his farewell tour. Take advantage of what will likely be your last chance to see the legendary comic perform live.

Interesting museum
Superb guide and very interesting sights
My Tour was so amazing! Seeing the life and learning about Dali was quite amazing. Our guide Lara was extremely patient and helpful. She was also funny as well! I would recommend her to anyone. She had another tour guide with her as well that was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Thank you ladies!
Excellent guide who was very adaptable proposing a changed itinerary to better suit the weather conditions. I was no expert on Dali but gleaned a lot during the trip
This was an excellent tour. The coach was very comfortable and the guide spoke very good English. She made learning more about Dali very interesting. The museum was excellent, although very crowded. The afternoon in Cadaques was outstanding.
Our tour guide Maybel made our tour. She gave us great info regarding Barcelona, Cataluña, and of course Dali. The Dali Museum was very interesting and enjoyed going to Dali's house to get a real insight into the man. Enjoyed having lunch on the Med coast. Beautiful! location. A can't miss!
Great tour Great guide. Like the small group.
Small group. Relaxed atmosphere. We saw a lot in Figures and Caldeques. Laura, our guide, was excellent. She was knowledgable, informative and personable. I would recommend this tour to anyone who likes Dali.
This was just awesome! The museum was fantastic and Gala's castle was also strange and terrific to see this tour was great!
This was just awesome! The museum was fantastic and Gala's castle was also strange and terrific to see this tour was great!
Excellent guide and wonderful experience! I switched from the Figueres/Girona tour since Girona wasn't available for the dates we were in Barcelona and we're very glad we did. Don't miss this one.
Amazing!! Our tour guide Veronica was great!
Excellent, the tour guide was excellente also
Maybel was our tour guide. She was very friendly and informative. We were very happy we chose this day trip during our stay in Barcelona!
It was as I expected.
Make my dream come true and have a touch of Dali.
The girl guide was on top of any question,polite ,helpful.friendly .
Will I recommend?????YES YES YES
liked it a lot, would have liked a little more guidance in museum
This was the best Viator tour of our vacation!! Would highly recommend to anyone interested in this unique artist! Our tour guide went way beyond our expectations not only well versed in English and Dali.. He fulfilled all areas of his guide duties with grace and a sense of personal responsibility.
Day with Alex and Dali - a truly fantastic day!
Great tour! Loved all of the insight into Dali and Gala.
Loved this tour and especially our guide, Feliciano. There were 8 total in our group, four of us ranging in age from 16-60, and we all got loved the tour. Feliciano knew so much about Dali's life. I can't wait to return to Barcelona for a food and wine tour with Feliciano. Highly recommend this tour, Figueres is a charming town and we had a marvelous lunch on recommendation from Feliciano. The beach was an awesome end to the tour,
A fun day out, learning more about Dali, his life and work.
Feliciano was an amazing well informed guide!
What an awesome day - the Dali museum was amazing, Cadaques and then Dali's home in Port Lligat was exceptional. Thank you Jordie for an amazing day - never to be forgotten. If you love art then this is an absolute must do to see the story of a genius.
I would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone.
As a lover of all things Salvador Dali, this trip was awesome! The museum in Figueres is a very interactive experience and full of a variety of Dali's work, some of which was new to me. The drive is in a nice van and through some beautiful mountains with lovely views. Lunch in Cadaques is trip to the Mediterranean and the food I had there was delicious. It was a lifelong dream of mine to visit Dali's House and it was well worth the trip-fanciful and very much a real lived in space. Mabel was a great tour guide and tried to make the tour the best possible experience for all involved!
Both our driver and tour guide, Maybell did a great job! She was a very organized and good communicator. The trip was very successful. Our driver was excellent too. She was very flexible so some members of the group wanted something a little different...she worked it out so we all got our needs met.

Female foursome Soluna (mixture of sun and moon in Spanish) were formed in the late '90s by Chilean, Colombian, Mexican, and Puerto Rican descendants, singing in both English and Spanish. Christina Lopez (aka "T"), ex-the Kings Five Aurora Rodríguez, Juilliard School-graduate America Olivo, and soloist Jessica Castellanos were all raised in the U.S., influenced by local and Latin pop stars. After signing up to DreamWorks Records, Soluna recorded its debut album For All Time, which included the hit single "Bring It to Me," released in 2002. Later that year, the girls struck a deal with UPN to create a sitcom focusing on their careers in entertainment. ~ Drago Bonacich

State of Addiction: Genetics plays role in addiction, but aren't only factor
Dopamine is "a critical neurotransmitter in the brain, and it's associated with some very vital functions," Hanson said.
Pleasure and reward systems are two of those.
"If I were to wipe that dopamine pathway out of your brain, you'd never feel good, life would be rotten and you'd probably commit suicide," Hanson said.
Repeated use of the same drug can lead to a tolerance in some individuals, causing them to gradually increase their dose to achieve the desired effect.
And once the mind is hooked, the body soon follows in the form of withdrawal symptoms, which commence soon after an addict's last high begins to wear off.
Withdrawal from opiates, for example, can include "restlessness, muscle and bone pain, insomnia, diarrhea, vomiting, cold flashes with goose bumps and involuntary leg movements," according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
Because of the mental and physical characteristics of addiction, many scientists and other health authorities say it's a chronic, complex disease.
According to the institute's website, the disease typically begins to develop during adolescence.
An institute report states that during these key developmental years, a young person's brain is still in the final stages of growth.
"The prefrontal cortex — located just behind the forehead — governs judgment and decision-making functions and is the last part of the brain to develop," the report states.
"This may help explain why teens are prone to risk-taking, are particularly vulnerable to drug abuse, and why exposure to drugs at this critical time may affect propensity for future addiction."
Studying relationship
Hanson said scientists are studying the relationship between genes and addiction because there are roughly 100 genes associated with addiction.
"This means that the cause can vary from person to person," he said. "If we know what the cause is, we can be more selective with our treatments and likely more effective."
Another reason scientists and researchers are studying the link between genes and addiction, Hanson says, is to allow medical professionals to be more proactive when dealing with drug and alcohol addiction.
"It is likely that this information would make our prevention strategies more targeted and more likely to succeed," he said.
Scientists also are studying addictive behavior in mice to help identify which genes are involved in the process of becoming addicted.
Mice and humans are very similar, genetically, and mice exhibit varying levels of addiction in lab tests.

Half-serious, half-silly, a scroll of cosmetic and related products for the undead amongst you. Use and abuse at your own risk.
What can be more maddening than the eternal sobbing of a child whom no one can comfort?
The spirit which dies with a murderous rage upon it's conscience cannot rest, and re-inhabits the corpse it once dwelt in, stalking the earth in search of one thing: revenge.
Forget the rickety, fragile skeletons. Remove all thoughts of the limping, weak zombies. Shrug off thoughts of blood-dependant vampires. Whereas the former are reflections of necromatic magic, the Mogrolyth is a creation derived from the pure essence of unholy power - namely pain.
Many of the Undead face this terrible fate for mistakes of their own. Dark sins, or conscience heavy for the criminal deeds they have commited, they cannot pass on and linger in this world. But some do not deserve this curse…
Undead are, simply put, among the most horrific things one can think of. Can you imagine anything more frightening than a being which is dead and yet still walks? Can you imagine the horror of being faced by the hollow shell of being, a hollow shell which must feed?
The call to Him is unnerving. The power He gives is unmatched. He is the reason why I turned my back on my God and now worship Him. I will live eternal for the trade of my Soul to a God. I can live with that.
-Rakeos -Follower of Sethalis, fallen Priest of Aduivo
A curiously designed ring - but not uncommon. Similar in design to most traditional 'magi-rings', which often hold enchantments on them. But unlike those rings, this one may take quite a hold on you…
Getting the favour of a Necromancer, and asking for a magical cloak? Sure, why not.
An elder lich recently returned from a journey across the worlds who seeks an artifact of ancient times.
In a city where the justice system features judicial dueling, plaintiffs and defendants are permitted to request a champion to take their place in the duel: Someone chosen by lot from among the foreigners in the city. When anyone first arrives, they are given an enchanted ceramic pendant that marks them as a candidate for "court duty".
Wealthy folk entering the city are often escorted by burly guards, paid to carry pendants on their behalf: They elude court duty in that way.
Adventurers may seek work as a rich man's proxy or may find themselves magically summoned to serve as a champion.

Forever DarkHere's a poem I wrote in an attempt to try to make The-Greedy-WitchBoy feel betterForever Dark3 years ago in Concrete Poetry More Like This
Being thrown into the dark and feeling
the never ending black consume me
I bleed forever for I am not healing
And the wounds will forever leave a scar
On me and I will know that the world
Is a terible place.
There are people who do little than cause pain and sorrow.
There are those who cheat and lie.
There are those who no longer care.
And I can do nothing about that
But if I remember the happy times
When I was awake and full of life,
When I was surrounded by those who loved me
and I laughed,
I know that not all is lost.
There are still those
Who will help me
and guide me when I am lost.
Those people are my family,
Even when not related by blood.
My family is of all different
Kinds of people
Who luagh and feel joy like I do
They help me and I help them
for they are my brothers and sisters
and yet they aren't
I stand up in the darkness
And look around
I can feel their hearts
Beating with mine

2 weeks ago, I was going down stairs to get ready for school. I got to the bottom of the stairs and went by the front door. (the stairs are just to the side of the door) I was going about my morning, making myself breakfast and feeding the dogs. I own 2 labradors, the black one is Rex and the reddish one is Jack.
As I made my way upstairs to beush my teeth, Jack and Rex were still eating. I got to the top and was brushing my teeth and I heard this horrible noise that sounded like a cat puking a hairball. I just thought it was Jack coughing.
A little while later, my mom had finished getting dressed for the day and I heard her come out of her room. (It's on the first floor) I waited for a minute and I heard her scream.
In front of the door was a big blood splatter! It was all over the floor and half of the door. Rex and Jack didn't do it. They haven't left the area near their food bowls. When I walked by there on my way up, it wasn't there either. Rex and Jack didn't kill anything. There

Lipid oxidation is one of the most serious problems occurring during storage of fatty foods, causing a shortage of their shelf-life. Oxitest® reactor has been successfully used to measure the resistance to oxidation of raw materials and finished food-feed without preliminary fat separation. Oxitest® is based on the absolute oxygen pressure change in a closed and thermostatic chamber, assumed as the oxygen uptake by reactive substances. This poster presents the test which allows you to obtain an oxidation curve, characterized by an Induction Period as the time required to reach an end point of oxidation corresponding to either a level of detectable rancidity or a sudden change in the rate of oxidation.

Precarious Present/Promising Future?: Ethnicity and Identities in Canadian Literature. Magnes (purchase at Amazon.ca)
Reviewed by Tseen-Ling Khoo
Studies focusing on cultural politics and national identity with regard to pluralism
or multiculturalism have characterised much of 1990s literary criticism. The two books under review follow this trend and are quite ambitious in terms of scope. With the published format of compiled essays/papers, however, these questions remain broadly but unevenly discussed. This is not to say that the resulting publications are not worthy of study or further examination, but that more specifically conceived and focused projects would have proven more constructive for researchers in the areas concerned.
Ethnic Literature and Culture in the USA, Canada, and Australia is a collection of papers from a symposium held by the Slovene Association for American Studies in 1994. The resulting book is divided into three sections: "European Emigrant Experience in the Multi-Ethnic USA," "Canadian Multiculturalism and Literature," and "Ethnic Australia." Naturally, the bulk of the publication is aimed toward delineating Slovene migrant perspectives, and most of these are sited in the USA. A new addition to the normal 'collection of papers' format is the conclud- ing chapter, which is a summary of the publication in Slovene.
Maver's introduction roams over the disparate sections, focusing on the commonalities of global "orientation towards multiculturality and multi-ethnicity." A point which could have borne more discussion is the separation/complicity of 'migrant-ness' and 'ethnicity' as the essays in the book hop between these terms and moments of'arrival.' A clear sign of the book trying to do too much is the slimness of the sections on Canada and Australia, and the offerings within each of these. Maver's comments about the form of multiculturalism found in Australia is adequate but, of necessity, quite generalised. He leaves us with the fact that the Penguin New Literary History of Australia did not include separate sections on 'migrant' or 'multicultural' writers but "adopted the method of 'pervasion' [the ethnic presence at all levels of society]." While I agree partially with this strategy, the word immediately conjured up two terms often associated with multicultural literary criticism in Australia and elsewhere: evasion and perversion. Evasion evokes the ongoing denial (or dismissal) of'literariness' in 'multicultural' material through concentration on sociological and historical aspects. Perversion might refer to the stereotypical response to migrant writing as 'bad' or distorted forms of proper English literature. While Maver's project does succeed in some ways with bringing forward the neglected areas of study about ethnic writers, he rests upon the idealised notion of migrants as "precious ... mediators and cultural ambassadors." Such an inscription of cultural 'value' and authenticity to ethnic writers and their literature elides, to a certain degree, the fraught and ongoing discus- sions about treating multicultural literature as voices of'Native informants.'
Many of the articles are historically inclined, with a good range of literary genres addressed. For example, within the USA section, Helga Glusic examines the poetry of Milena Soukal and Janez Stanonik working through the "Bibliographies of Slovene Emigrant Press prior to 1945," and material about juvenile literature and travelogues. In such a specific book (and conference), Adi Wimmer's piece about the trauma of Austrian Jewish exile sits somewhat oddly, for all its emotive force.
Wimmer's piece details the harsh treatment of Austrian Jews during World War II and the contemporary refusal by the nation and its people to acknowledge the harm done or feel they need to offer recompense. He points to the 1986 Waldheim scandal as a clear example of the "grossly deficient 'culture of memory' in Austria"—a process of denying an unsavoury past that Rey Chow, in "Women of the Holocene," has aptly labelled "Waldheimer's Disease." Wimmer goes on to argue that the suspen- sion between two nations/cultures, which many critics have configured as an 'enabling' subject position for creative work, can also function as an "obstacle" to it. Most of the reasons for this, he contin- ues, can be found in the enforced nature of exile compared with the (arguably 'voluntary') process of immigration.
In the Canadian section of the collection, Janice Kulyk Keefer offers a critically engaged, necessarily generalised, assessment of Canadian multiculturalism which partially addresses the issues surrounding racialisation and the category of'whiteness.' She also attempts to salvage Josef Skvorecky's role as a valuable commentator on multicultural literature in Canada, contending that he contributes crucial critical friction to discussions about ethnic or multicultural work. The twist on the argument for including Skvorecky (because his right-wing attitudes pose a useful challenge to the left-wing sentiments expressed by some scholars in multicultural criticism) is refreshing but Keefer's reasons for doing so remain slightly unclear. Skvorecky's comments, quoted by Keefer, are hardly original thoughts in the field of multicultural literature, particularly the 'politics versus aesthetics' arguments. I was left wanting to know more about the specific ways in which Keefer envisaged Skvorecky's polemical statements furthering multicultural literary criticism in Canada.
Maver's Ethnic Literature and Culture collection should prove very useful for those who are involved in research regarding the Slovene experience or 'diaspora,' particularly as many of the essays provide detailed historical grounding for their subject matter.
Precarious Present/ Promising Future?: Ethnicity and Identities in Canadian Literature is a more focused collection, one by "feminist scholars from Canada and Israel" discussing identity and ethnicity in the Canadian national context.
Contributions included comparative studies like Bina Toledo Freiwald's "The Subject and the Nation: Canadian and Israeli Women's Autobiographical Writing," to resistance in black Canadian feminist work (Susan Rudy), and French Canadian avant-garde feminist perspectives (Dina Haruvi).
On the topic of "Ethnic Writing in Canada," E. D. Blodgett writes about Joy Kogawa's canonical novel, Obasan, and its use of language as exemplifying "the ethnic situation in English Canadian writing." He traces the creation and maintenance of identity for Naomi through language strategies in the novel, introducing the metaphor of borders and bordering (for identity) in the latter part of the article. Blodgett lays out the direction for ethnic literature in a somewhat didactic way, encouraging ethnic writers to walk the middle path. He states that "[e]thnic writing is perforce a writing of mediation" and that it is not "sufficient" to indulge either in "pure polemic [or] solipsism." The questions that I would pose in response are: Who is judging what is "sufficient"? Should critics manoeuvre (as Blodgett has done) between close readings of one text and statements regarding the (singular) future of ethnic literature in Canada? The feminist perspective promised by the volume seems to be absent from this particular piece. This is particularly disappointing as, among numerous other examples, Naomi's reluctant role as 'mediator' in the family compared to Stephen's self-preserving escape from it would be fruitful to examine from a gendered perspective.
Jeanne Perreault's essay, '"We All Need That Bridge': Feminism/Antiracism in Some Canadian Women's Writing," provides examples of how Canadian women writers in English are undertaking the task of melding the politics of feminist solidarity with heightened awareness, and engagement with, the processes of racialisation. The meeting of feminism and anti-racism has historically caused many splits and theoretical divergences among critics, often with commentators falling back on binary notions of prioritisation of discriminations. Perreault manages to avoid this dilemma. Among other authors and texts, she discusses a special edition of Fireweed on Jewish women, Lee Maracle's work including her poetry and novels, and pieces by Jeannette Armstrong. The strength of this section rests on the comparison between the strategies with which the women choose to overcome and erode racist attitudes and structures. Precarious Present certainly deserves attention for the number of challenging articles and the ambitious breadth of critical terrain which it traverses. It is especially challenging for suggesting ways of bringing together feminism, race issues, and ethnic identity.

Sumbawa or Samawa people are an ethnic group of people who live in the western and central region of Sumbawa Island, which comprises West Sumbawa Regency and Sumbawa Regency. The Sumbawa people refer themselves as Tau Samawa people and their language is Sumbawa language.[1] Neither the Bima nor the Sumbawa people have alphabets of their own; they use the alphabets of the Bugis and the Malay language indifferently.[2] The majority of the Sumbawa people practice Islam. The Sumbawa people once established their own government which became the Sumbawa Sultanate and lasted until 1931.[3] Sakeco music always plays a special role in the custom of Sumbawa people.[4]

Listening to Julie's own narration about her early life is as great a treat as listening to her singing! It is a touching and fascinating memoir by one of the greatest performers that should not be missed!
"What a voice"
Her voice is just magical. Hopefully she is working on part 2. She had a pretty rough childhood but does not lapse into the typical "woe is me" pathos.
The one book I would've loved isn't recorded: "The Deluxe Transitive Vampire..." by Karen Elizabeth Gordon.
Who wouldn't want to be read to by Julie Andrews?!?! Her voice brought such allure and enchantment to the tale.
No — not at all: Why? When I enjoy something, I want it to last. I plan on listening to this more than once.
How is it possible that she hasn't narrated more books for others, too, apart from her own! She is a born storyteller. She has such storytelling magic: oodles of it. She should do more more narrations: much, much, much more. She's one of the best narrators around.
"Read by the Author"
I listened to the audiobook read by Julie Andrews. I hear that the hardcopy has a lot of pictures in it, which would be fun, but listening to Julie Andrews herself tell her story was delightful.
It surprised me what a rough background she came from. Her early years were not easy, but I enjoyed hearing about how one opportunity led to another. She shares quite a bit about playing Eliza Doolittle and Guinevere with Richard Burton. Also about the live Cinderella production. Fun to hear about what life is like for a Broadway star.
Her story concludes with the birth of her daughter and flying to California to begin filming for Mary Poppins. An interesting read.
"Delightfully narrated tale of Julie's stage intro"
I would highly recommend this audiobook to a friend, if that friend likes Julie Andrews. I learned a lot about her life that I wasn't familiar with before, like her Broadway starring role in My Fair Lady.
I love the way Julie Andrews' voice sounds and her genuine revelations, like she's sitting in the room and telling you her memories.
"Listening to Julie is absolute heaven"
This is quite possibly the best memoir/autobiography I've read on someone in the entertainment business. Definitely right up there with Katharine Hepburn's "Me."
Rather than simply rehash her Hollywood career, Julie Andrews has taken the time and nurtured a book that lovingly details the history of English vaudeville, England itself during World War II and its monarchy and the heydays of Broadway and the West End. Rather than focus solely on herself, she writes about many of the great authors, thinkers, musicians and actors of the 1950 and 1960s.
What could have easily come across as yet another self-absorbed autobiography, instead reads as a delightful history lesson of sorts spanning England and America. The humble way in which Andrews presents her friendships with Broadway and Hollywood royalty, not to mention her experiences with the British monarchy, illustrates the grace in which she accepts the extraordinary opportunities she has had. Although her career might seem a fairy tale of sorts, this book clearly reveals that it was one forged from hard work and dedication.
I have always admired Julie Andrews' beautiful singing and her excellent film performances. But after reading this book, I came away with a respect for her as a writer. She has weaved a most-excellent story that never once lost my attention.
Say something about yourself!
This book ranks number one with me! How wonderful to hear Julie speak about her life. It's like sitting down with her in person and having her tell you all her stories. Simply wonderful!
I'd compare it Carol Burnett's "This Time Together" in that it is honest, endearing, often funny and very inspiring.
Everything Julie narrates is top notch. Her famous voice and expressive reading make me want to listen to it over and over again.
This book touched me is so many different ways it's hard to explain. It made me laugh out loud one minute and cry the next. Julie's ability to just "get on with it" through all circumstances is truly inspiring.
Cannot express how much I love this book and its author! Such wonderful insights into a truly amazing, gifted, talented, inspiring woman.
Hearing Julie's beautiful voice and British accent as she told the story of her early years.
Carol Burnett's autobiography - reading that one now
I was deeply touched by her relationship to her Dad, Ted Wells. I admire him so much and was glad for the insight into Julie's feelings about her biological father. My own daughter has politely declined a relationship with her biological father because of the bond she has with her Dad, my incredible husband, who adopted her at the age of six and has been her REAL father ever since.
I want more! Is Julie writing about the subsequent years?
Driving to and from work has never been so enjoyable. Traffic jams are welcome...!
"Music to your ears"
Ms. Andrews performance is flawless. Perhaps a little monotonous at times but mostly melodious, nonetheless. Besides The Sound of Music, Mary Poppins and Victor, Victoria, what do you know about her? So many musicals and homes away from home, beginning at such an early age. A truly compelling story.
Costume Witch
"What's not to like."
Julie recounts her life with honesty and openness and all in that marvelous speaking voice with crystal clear diction. I only hope that someday there will be a second book that continues where this one left off.

Turning bust-ups into breakthroughs: How to understand and harness conflict
Conflict is a natural part of work and personal life. Although it usually results from simple differences of opinion, conflict can stem from any element of trust, belief, authority or passion being challenged, and can lead to damaging disputes that waste time and effort in the workplace.
OPP's global research found that 85% of employees have to deal with conflict in the workplace, and spend on average 2.1 hours a week dealing with it. In the UK alone, that translates to 370 million working days lost every year as a result of conflict at work.
Join OPP consultants Rob Bailey and Gil Parsons to discover why conflict arises, how you can deal with it, and how to use it for positive outcomes.

Business Continuity
Socrates Coudounaris (IRM Board Member)
Sep 29 2015
45 mins
Business continuity encompasses a loosely defined set of planning, preparatory and related activities which are intended to ensure that an organization's critical business functions will either continue to operate despite serious incidents or disasters that might otherwise have interrupted them, or will be recovered to an operational state within a reasonably short period. As such, business continuity includes three key elements: 1. Resilience: critical business functions and the supporting infrastructure are designed and engineered in such a way that they are materially unaffected by most disruptions, for example through the use of redundancy and spare capacity; 2. Recovery: arrangements are made to recover or restore critical and less critical business functions that fail for some reason. 3. Contingency: the organization establishes a generalized capability and readiness to cope effectively with whatever major incidents and disasters occur, including those that were not, and perhaps could not have been, foreseen. Contingency preparations constitute a last-resort response if resilience and recovery arrangements should prove inadequate in practice.

BCI webinar: The resilient organization – methodology and practice
Phil Wood AMBCI, Bucks New University
Sep 29 2015
63 mins
This webinar will consider the complementary disciplines of security, crisis, business continuity and disaster response, blending theoretical and practical applications. It should interest practitioners and students of organizational resilience at advanced levels as it will bind together the various complementary disciplines necessary to become resilient into a single holistic approach. The webinar will aim to develop insights and discussion about how to match the needs of security and risk to the requirements of business continuity and impact management; and to identify the intuitive and learned skills to anticipate, respond to and recover from the many unwanted issues that can arise and threaten organizational capability.
It will be set in the context of a dynamic, changing world where new threats such as embedded terrorism, social media risk generation, food and logistics security, environmental issues, governance and legislation (as examples) can affect resilience significantly. Many of us look at single elements – this will combine many complementary and potentially conflicting elements in a single analysis and discussion.

BCI Webinar: Don't 'present'. Persuade!
Nathaniel Forbes MBCI
Sep 23 2015
36 mins
Well-known writer and presenter Nathaniel Forbes MBCI offers three simple steps to help you give more persuasive presentations.
Whether you're pitching business continuity management to the C-suite, pleading for your department's headcount or reporting post-exercise successes, you can move your audience to action with these three steps to a persuasive presentation.
1.Develop a 'story'.
The human brain has been wired for story since our ancestors drew on cave walls. Every disaster, every invocation, every successful recovery reveals stories of sacrifice, personal resilience and individual initiative. Behind the facts, there's a story in your presentation, too – one your audience will remember.
2.Make an emotional connection.
People may forget what you said, they may forget what you did, but they'll never forget how you made them feel. To move people to action - to make them care about business continuity - you must reach for their feelings. Gently…but intentionally.
3.Use pictures.
It's impossible for anyone to read and listen at the same time. Speaking over text bullets on a screen behind you is distracting and confusing to the audience. Instead, choose powerful images that make your point and support your story. The best ones are often the photographs you take yourself.

The Stigma of Fatigue
Jenny Krasny
Sep 22 2015
60 mins
You've likely already heard, and seen first-hand, the link between sleep deprivation and workplace accidents. You probably recognise the signs of extreme tiredness (yawning, restlessness, head nodding, poor concentration, etc.) and know which policies and procedures are in place to address employees operating while tired. Yet we consistently see employees who are fatigued continue to operate, creating significant risks to themselves and others.
Join Jenny Krasny as she exposes the truth about the stigma of fatigue and discusses how you could be inadvertently reinforcing a culture of shame in your workplace.
Walk away from this webinar equipped with knowledge about fatigue risk, an understanding of how to assess your fatigue culture and some basic tools to make a positive difference.
Learning Objectives:
• To appreciate your own perspectives on fatigue and impact this has on the culture in your workplace
• To equip you with some basic tools to gain awareness about the impacts of fatigue in your organisation

BCI webinar: Simulating chaos to improve readiness
Kathleen Lucey FBCI (Montague Risk Management) & Rob Burton (PreparedEx)
Sep 14 2015
61 mins
Kathleen and Rob will discuss the benefits of injecting chaos / reality into various kinds of BC/DR exercises. Special attention will be paid to the development and and delivery of complex table-top exercises. They will also talk about how tabletop elements can enhance more traditional DR exercises by injecting realism into what are often extremely artificial events. Tabletop exercises are extremely useful for three reasons:
- They exercise areas of disaster management not often covered in DR and BC testing.
- They exercise those teams that are not often rehearsed together in realistic scenarios.
- They teach loosely formed emergency teams how to work together efficiently and effectively under stressful emergency conditions.
The benefits delivered to BCM programs through the use of tabletop exercises are extraordinary, but many practitioners do not yet have the necessary skills to design and execute them. This webinar will give the audience concrete tactics and techniques, as well as a defined methodology that will lead to tabletop successes.

Susan Nash, Author, International expert in business applications of Type
Individuals in today's society face a range of competing pressures and many turn to "time management" to try to obtain support in reducing these challenges. A body of work by Tony Schwartz focuses on managing energy (a renewable resource) versus managing time. His work describes four types of energy (physical, emotional, mental and spiritual) which, when controlled and monitored, can increase productivity and personal resilience. In this session we will review and practice how we can use the knowledge of type to help in raising personal resilience.

Stress doesn't have to be distressing
Apr 24 2013
62 mins
Dr Penny Moyle, CEO, and John Hackston, Head of R&D, OPP Ltd
Workplace stress is always a hot topic in the HR press, and even more so currently as organisations push to achieve more with reduced resources and budget. Is the media's portrayal of stress as bad correct – or is stress something we can learn to manage and even harness for positive benefit? Although most of us know what stress feels like, many of us fail to identify the best coping strategies for the productive management of the challenges that we face. And if we have trouble managing our own stress, how can we best support colleagues who experience stress differently?
Penny and John will step through a well-established dynamic model of the stress process and explain how you can build individual and organisational resilience, not only to avoid stress turning into distress, but also to understand when it can be a positive, motivating force.
